KINGSTON, Jamaica — Renowned American music producer DJ Khaled is set to perform in Jamaica alongside celebrated dancehall artist Mavado at the highly anticipated ‘Return of the Gully Gad’ concert. The event will take place at Plantation Cove in St. Ann on December 27. DJ Khaled announced the collaboration on Instagram, expressing his excitement to join Mavado on stage. ‘I’m on the rock December 27 (JM),’ Khaled posted, referencing Mavado’s hit song ‘I’m On The Rock.’ He added, ‘@mavadogully put the call in so you know I’m there! [Jamaica] let’s make more history! @wethebest all love and respect.’ This concert marks a significant moment for Mavado, whose real name is David Brooks, as it follows his recent return to Jamaica after nearly a decade. Shortly after his arrival, a 2018 arrest warrant against him was dismissed following a meeting with local authorities and his legal team. The event promises to be a historic celebration of music and culture.
